HC Deb 19 January 1990 vol 165 c433W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what right of appeal parents have whose children are refused a place at Bradford city technology college; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

CTCs are independent schools and parents will have no automatic right of appeal if their children fail to achieve one of the limited number of places available. However, my right hon. Friend will expect colleges to look at individual cases on their merits.
